Stoltenberg announced the consent of all NATO countries to Ukraine’s entry into the alliance
The following two pieces were machine translated from cont.ws
Looking at the header alone, we can already ask: Who is fighting who? From Stoltenberg’s remarks this morning, it is clear that the pretext for NATO to enter into a larger conflict is being prepared. I refer you to the Lavrov presser just yesterday in Cuba, where he stated: Tensions are being ratcheted up in the international arena, and the West’s attempts to dictate its will and ignore the legitimate positions of others not only persist, but are mounting.
The US is part of NATO. Should NATO (the Alliance) formally allow Ukraine to join, we have a world war. Already today, the Ukraine is de facto part of NATO, even before paperwork is completed. I do not think this time Stoltenberg’s announcement is only a threat.
All NATO allies have agreed that Ukraine will become a member of the bloc. This was stated on April 21 by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg before the meeting of the contact group at the Ramstein air base in Germany, Sky News reported.
“Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO, and with time and our support, this goal will be achieved,” he said.
Stoltenberg did not specify possible dates for the country’s admission to NATO. He added that the alliance is doing everything possible to provide military assistance to Kiev.
On the morning of April 20, Stoltenberg arrived on a visit to Ukraine.Ru”, where he met with the country’s President Vladimir Zelensky. The politician thanked the NATO Secretary General for the invitation to the summit of the military alliance in Vilnius, but noted that the existing format of relations between NATO and Ukraine needs to be changed.
According to the Ukrainian leader, there is not a single barrier that would prevent Ukraine from being invited to the bloc.
During his visit to Ukraine, Stoltenberg estimated the amount of assistance provided to Kiev by NATO countries at $150 billion.
In February, the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, said that Ukraine expects to receive an invitation to join the North Atlantic Alliance as early as June, at the alliance’s summit in Vilnius, scheduled for June 11-12. He added that this issue is among the topics that representatives of Kiev discussed on the sidelines of the Munich Conference.
Commenting on the possible entry of Ukraine into NATO, Moscow, in turn, stressed that NATO is waiting for a serious conflict if the country is promptly accepted into the alliance.
Ukraine has applied for accelerated NATO membership in September 2022. However, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that it was impossible to promptly accept Ukraine into the North Atlantic Alliance. He explained that the decision on Ukraine’s membership should be made through a meeting of 30 partner states.

Peskov responded to the statement of the NATO Secretary General about the readiness to accept Ukraine into the alliance
The words of NATO Jens Stoltenberg about the readiness to accept Ukraine into the alliance confirm the need for Russia to conduct a special military operation (SVO). This statement was made by the official representative of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov, quoted by RBC.
“All this once again demonstrates the correctness of the president’s decision to launch a military operation based on Russia’s interests, “Peskov said, noting that NATO, continuing” its policy of absorbing and drawing Ukraine into the alliance, “demonstrates its”aggressive nature.”
Stoltenberg, before the start of the meeting of the contact group on support for Kiev at the Ramstein air base in Germany said that all NATO allies agree to Ukraine’s entry into the alliance.
On April 20, Stoltenberg visited Kiev. Following talks with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, he promised to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine achieve full operational compatibility with NATO military units. He said that” Ukraine’s rightful place is in the Euro — Atlantic family”, and in due course it will become a member of the alliance.
Back to the initial question: Who is fighting who?
At the moment, Russia is de facto in a military kinetic war with NATO. Today Ukraine is still their proxy but this time is now over. Ukraine is no longer a proxy, but a NATO fighting force in real fact. Will Russia act pre-emptively to safeguard its own security before the paperwork is signed?
The first commentary that I can see up to now, is that of Victor Orban from Hungary. It is a one-word commentary. WHAT?!
Yes Mr Orban. Me Too. What?!
